Blade lenght it's more compatible to a large grip

Great review fj! Wish I had a way with words like you do...

True.

But for some reason, when I put the 13150-1 in line with some of my knives, the Benchmade knife I grabbed to compare it to was a Mini-Grip, not a full-size Grip.

The full-size Grip has never been a "carry" knife for me, while I do carry a mini-Grip and I would carry the 13150-1 if I needed another knife in the small knife rotation.

The thumb studs and the AXIS buttons always puzzled me as to what they are and how they feel. HD has this on a number of models. Now we know. If I wasn't so lazy I would get up and take a look at my 930 because I think it has T6 pivot screw. That also puzzles me. I like the full size Grip and carry it often. This would feel like the 940/943 as you said in a way. I would like to see the clip higher up but the handle curvature may prevent that. Don't want no clip getting in my way as I tear up the desert roads on my hog with my gang.

The real winner was the review.
Thanks for doing it fj.

Why is there no HD smilie?

I received one of these last week.
fj's review was right on. I was glad to see the very nice blade come out of what feels like a too light handle. I had to change that clip and screws with black. As nice as that clip is, it is as bright and shinny as a 740/745.
I was just lucky I had the right size screws. Blade heavy when open but not a problem and it’s very pocket friendly. Light, not in your way and not a pocket eater. For the price of a mini grip it’s a winner.
